Didn't manage a good photo, but this KLM B747 that passed over this morning (PH-BFO) just happens to be the same as the one spotted at Schiphol just a few days ago:-

Very nice caught with the Polar Air.

AT I'm definitely going to have to invest in a 500mm lens, my 300mm just pales in comparison :(

I use the FZ45 Digital Camera 24x optical (25mm-600mm) and it can go further but then I start getting the grain in photos, so I use

http://www.neatimage.com/ - A plugin for Photoshop which removes grain very well, definitely worth a try , I found a big difference!
